WINTER NOTES.
Common Occurrences in and About
the City.
Matters Of Minor Importance
Hastily Gathered.

NSSo OAkSi VIII pIO-
badly be released from Jail to-day-ar-
engagements having been made for bail.
Miss Nellie G. Bailey went to Fort Rus
Sell on Sunday and disposed of over thirty
of her books to the officers and soldiers.
A service of song occurred at the Con-
gregatiOnal church on Sunday evening,
which was very successful and well at
tended.
A team and other property taken on
execution was sold by Sheriff Sharpless
in front OF the court house yesterday af-
ternoon.
Pay day has come and gone with the
soldiers at Fort Russell, and we regret TO
say that in many instances the money has
gone too.
The preliminary examination in the
case of the Territory of Wyoming VS..
John Thomas will occur before Judge
Fisher to-day.
The stone walk now being put down in
front of Arp & Hammond's and Heath's
market will be one of the finest and most
substantial in the city.
There was another rush to the court
house yesterday by parties after the war
rants allowed them at the recent meeting
of the commissioners.
James Doyle, and one or two other part
les, were rendered the Inequalities of the
calaboose by Judge Lee yesterday-all
having been intoxicated.
Two ordinary DRINKS named Doe and
Roe were all that disturbed the serenity
of Judge Fishers court yesterday. The
DRINKS were consigned to the bastile.
The funeral of Mrs. Theresa Benson
occurred Yesterday afternoon from her
late residence and was attended by a
large number of the friends and neighbors
of the deceased.
An excellent landscape painting in oil
was shown to THE LEADER local yester-
day, being the first effort of that kind by
Miss Silvia Adamsky. 1t is a picture
fit to adorn any parlor in the land.
A warranty deed from Henry Hill to
Q. w. Sweet. ct. al, for lots |, 2, 7, 4, S,
6, 7 and s, block l76 in Cheyenne, were
filed for record yesterday, the considera-
ton being 1900.
The work of cleaning out the cutters
and bitches was begun yesterday on Six
teenth street and will be continued from
this time on until the entire business por-
ton of the city is put in presentable
shape.
A sacred concert was given at the
Methodist church Sunday evening and
another last evening under the direction
and supervision of Prof. Thomas, Of
Chicago. Both were excellent and well
attended.
There are in this city a large number of
lads growing towards manhood who
should be protected against a certain class
Of dive keepers who seem to take delight
in leading these boys into crooked paths.
The.laws against e%nticing minors to gam
bic and against selling liquor to minors
should be enforced.
j. d. Corey, city agent of THE LEA
DER, has returned from Rockford, I'LL.
where he went to attend the funeral of
a relative. His father was stricken with
paralysis and lost the use of his left side.
Strange to say, within twenty four hours
he entirely recovered and was as we'll as
ever, apparently, when Mr.. Corey
started back to Cheyenne.
Nolan appealed to The LEADER local
Yesterday and wanted something said
about his hat. He is not wearing it, and
about a thousand times a day he Is asked
why this thing is thusly. Nelan's helmet
hat proved to be too small for him and
has been taken to Haas blacksmith shop
to be remodeled and will be put in pre-
sentable shape in a few days.
Rev. John Anderson preached at the
Baptist church both morning and even
ing on Sunday last. His text in the
morning were those words of the Savior
on Mount Calvary, MY God my Godl
why hast Thou forsaken me?" and al
though this is a pretty deep subject to
handle, Mr.. Anderson said about all there
is to be said upon the subject. Martin
Luther, after months Of study and pond
ering over this text, was constrained to adj
nit that it was a mystery which he was
unable to solve.
Much complaint is being made by par
ents and guardians that the proprietors Of
gambling houses and pool rooms in this
city permit minors, under the age of IS
years, to gamble in their resorts, and the
matter has been laid before the prose-
cutting attorney. If this pernicious prac-
tice is not discontinued at once, the legis-
lature will be requested to prohibit the
licensing of these houses. Public senti-
ment in this community is already opposed
to. this license, it andwould require but lit
tie effort to wipe the law from our
statutes.
